Napa Tourist Information Center

This is a nice, low key place to try some wine and get some pointers for your next destination in Napa. Alicia is very helpful when it comes to advising people where to go tasting and where to eat. She often has a lot of great coupons for you as well. Try the chocolate and wine pairing!

My husband and I visited Napa for the first time at Thanksgiving and we stumbled upon the info center as we were searching for a camera store. Alicia was out front and was welcoming and so personable that we found ourselves in conversation with her about all things Napa ! She is an absolute well of information on the area!
She brought us into the center and after showing us around — they have an amazing craft olive oil and vinegar bar for tastings the selection was impressive and it was fun to try different combinations ! This in addition to the wine bar which again is wonderful and such great wines for all palates and budgets — only in Napa will you find a wine bar in an information center !!
Alicia then made several recomendations to us in order to best maximize our time and gave us a map and marked the points of interest on it for us. When we mentioned wanting to take the train but would need dog care she volunteered to watch them for us! Now I would never leave our 2 babies with a stranger however Alicia is one of those special people whose beautiful spirit is so warm and honest that we felt like we were leaving them with a friend, this is not an exaggeration!
She and her dog Charlie kept our pups entertained giving us a worry free few hours to enjoy the train and the Castle winery. She texted pics every so often to keep our minds at ease which was very thoughtful, as I am kinda neurotic when it comes to them.
I would normally say that Alicia went above and beyond to help us but I honestly believe that this is just who she is — she is happy to be helping others, and her enthusiasim for her home town is contagious. I witnessed her with other customers and she showed the same cheerful courtesy, knowledge and patience with everyone.
My husband and I enjoyed Napa and all it offers but had we not met Alicia and visited the info center we would not have enjoyed it as fully. We look forward to visiting Napa again next year and especially our new friends Alicia and Charlie!

Being a local, I can appreciate a place that carries wine of all price points, I actually want to drink accompanied by a setting that is not pretentious. Square One hits those notes. I was sitting at the tasting bar enjoying my glass of when I overheard the employee (Alicia) going above and beyond her duties. She gave great recommendations about dinner spots and some «don’t miss» places. She was knowledgeable about which wines I should taste and or buy after describing some similar wines I like to drink. I enjoyed my time there and will be back soon. If you’re in the area I recommend coming in and I really hope you get her, she seems to really enjoy her job and makes the time fly by.
Ps. The cheese platter. skip it, but they do have cute souvenirs and wine passes.

This place should be your first stop in Napa! Everything all in one place for visitors. Alicia was like a computer of knowledge on Napa! She blew me away! She knows every where to go and all the info on everything! She is the sweetest person and I loved talking with her! Her knowledge of wines is amazing and she makes you feel like you’re at home with an old friend. Everyone here is so sweet and so helpful. Alicia is the best! I will be back here for sure!!! Alicia, save me a seat at the bar!

This is without a doubt the best place to get all info necessary to visit both downtown Napa, and all the valley! I had a lot of questions regarding where to eat, and what places to visit. All the people who work there were nothing but professional and friendly. Special kudos to Alicia… her dining recommendations were excellent, and her knowledge behind the bar made my experience not only memorable but delicious!!! Also, she gave us some awesome 2 for 1 coupons to experience the valley :) (bonus: you can get really cute souvenirs at the store, including tons of Napa/​wine theme ones).

We are new to the Napa area. We visited the the information center/​bar and had great time, the bartender Alicia was awesome. She provided a lot of helpful of information regarding popular restaurants to visit. She knew a few of the locals who were also really nice. Stop by say Hi and enjoy the wine tasting.

Alicia was a great person. She had a great attitude and made our night! We will come back and see her again.

The Napa Tourist Information was once based in the Napa Town Center across the street. It’s gone upscale, to the point that charmingly cute onesies adorned with grapes saying «Mom&Dad’s Special Blend» and Russell Crowe’s documentary about wine in China are no longer available. The people are very friendly. They offer popcorn for the younger set, and have olive oil/​vinegar samples. They have a nice restroom. The people there are friendly. Unlike the other tourist center, they have their own wine bar. In vino veritas.

Alicia is THE BEST! Great recommendations on just about ANYTHING you can eat or drink in Napa. Not one of her suggestions was anything less than excellent. She freely gives out 2 for 1 wine tasting coupons too! Make this your first stop in Napa!
P. S. Go on a hot air balloon ride Alicia! I took all your recommendations, time for you to take one of mine.

Fantastic service. Incredibly kind bartender with delicious wine. 100% order the cheese plate! The moscato is good, but the cab is fabulous. Dry white lady are very refreshing.

Many two for one wine tasting offers. They’re behind the counter so ask.
They’ve been opened about a year and a half. They’re different from the Napa Visitor Information Center located by the riverfront. This site sells trinkets and souvenirs.
